Our Mission

Why now?

Our world is changing.  Young people today face opportunities and challenges on a global scale.  Boston is a hub for cutting-edge ideas, a destination for the world’s thought leaders, and our home.  Until now, young people in Boston have been pushed to the margins of the conversation. That’s what we’re here to change. Boston International will help local young professionals become leaders who can understand and address the issues facing our world.

Our people

We are young professionals and graduate students.  While we think the optimal age range for members is 22-35, everyone is welcome to join.  We are diverse in our backgrounds, perspectives, and professions, but are united by our energy and our passion for international affairs.

Our events

We plan regular events which address topics in world politics, economics, business, science, and cultural life.  Our events are informal and our members engage actively. This means meeting each other and our speakers; this means talking, not just listening.  We hold events at times and places that are convenient for people who work a full day.
